How Do I prep for the procedure?
Stop using retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, and exfoliating acids like AHAs or BHAs at least 5 days before your peel. Avoid waxing, active breakouts with open wounds, or intense sun exposure in the week prior. Come to your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin. Let your provider know about any oral or topical acne medications (like Accutane), which may affect your eligibility.
How is the procedure performed?
Your skin is first cleansed and prepped to ensure an even application. A customized blend—often including salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and mandelic acid—is applied to the skin and left on for several minutes. These ingredients penetrate deeply to exfoliate clogged pores, calm inflammation, and regulate oil production. You may feel a light tingling or stinging sensation. After the solution is neutralized, a calming moisturizer and SPF are applied. The full process takes about 30 minutes.
What Do I do after the procedure?
Expect mild redness and a tight or dry feeling for the first 1–3 days. Flaking or light peeling is normal. Do not pick at your skin, and avoid using scrubs, retinoids, or active acne treatments for at least 5–7 days. Stick to a gentle cleanser, non-comedogenic moisturizer, and SPF 30+ daily. Avoid intense workouts and direct sunlight during the healing period. Most clients notice clearer, smoother skin within a few days, with continued improvement over time.

FAQs About Acne Correcting Chemical Peels
How is this different from a regular chemical peel?
This peel is specifically formulated to treat acne and post-acne concerns using deep-penetrating acids that target oil and bacteria.
Will my skin peel a lot after the treatment?
Some light flaking may occur, especially around areas with active breakouts or congestion, but dramatic peeling is uncommon.
Can it help with blackheads and whiteheads?
Yes—salicylic acid unclogs pores and reduces sebum, making it effective for blackheads, whiteheads, and overall congestion.
Does this help with acne scars?
It won’t treat deep pitted scars, but it can fade post-acne pigmentation and smooth mild texture irregularities over time.
Is this safe for teenage or hormonal acne?
Yes. It’s suitable for teens and adults dealing with acne caused by hormones, stress, or excess oil production.
How many sessions will I need?
A series of 3–6 peels, spaced 4 weeks apart, is typically recommended for best results.
Will this make my acne worse before it gets better?
Some clients experience purging—a temporary increase in breakouts—as trapped oil and bacteria are brought to the surface.
Can I combine this with other acne treatments?
Yes, but timing is key. Avoid doubling up on peels, retinoids, or laser treatments without consulting your provider.
